The Story of Rose Apple: A unique story within Cambodian hospitality
Siem Reap, Cambodia, is home to a tale of love and hospitality, embodied in the vibrant spirit of Rose Apple. Directed by the dynamic duo, Tim Blondeel and his wife Sophearith, Rose Apple is not just a boutique Bed and Breakfasts or a villa rental agency; it’s a testament to their passion for hosting, sharing stories, and celebrating the beauty of Cambodia with the world.
Originally from Belgium, Tim and Sophearith’s journey began with a humble bed and breakfast setup in the southern part of Siem Reap. What started as a two-bedroom accommodation soon bloomed into an 18-bedroom boutique with a pool and restaurant, reflecting their love for hosting and connecting with people from all walks of life.
“We enjoyed the personal contact, hearing stories from people from all over the world, and being able to share some of the history of this marvelous country and its people,” Tim reminisces.
The resilience of Rose Apple was tested during the COVID-19 pandemic. However, adversity became an opportunity for transformation. With a vision to adapt and thrive, Rose Apple transitioned into a private villa rental agency, offering exclusive properties and personalized services tailored to the discerning traveler.
